DAMN IT vBulletin!!! LOL

Thanks PD, that is awesome information. So does it position relative to the upper left corner of the main window rather than the upperleft corner of the screen? If not, how do you figure out where the FE embedded main form is relative to screen rather than the FE's container?

Public Type RECT
Left As Long
Top As Long
Right As Long
Bottom As Long
End Type

Public Declare Function GetWindowRect Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, lpRect As RECT) As Long

Dim RectActive As RECT
Call GetWindowRect(hwnd, RectActive)

That will get the coordinates of each corner of whatever window you want.

Cool. Thanks again.

Is that what you use to correctly position Layered windows? ...or might there be a better way?

Um... if theres a better way I don't know it. I don't claim to be an expet at these kinds of things though.

Yea, all the art except for the buttons physically on the map for me is positioned using that getwindowrect code. I really should move the buttons onto a layered window; it would give me some very nice benefits.

Hrmmmm nice Work RPM. This might actually look very cool with my iGuidance large button modification to replace the std menus....

I think Guino has some interesting way of drawing stuff on RR.

Search for an "API Spy".

Cheers

could you recommend one, I just downloaded & installed Cow Spy, API Monitor & API Spy, but can't seem to see the WindowClass in any of them ?? - is windowClass also known as something else ??

Thanx

Thanx, I have determined that the skype window class is: tSkMainForm.UnicodeClass, skinbedder launches it but the skype window still appears and is not embedded - any ideas on how to determine what's wrong ??

Thanx so much !

I think that the skype window you're getting has a different handle. Use one of those. Or just search yourself for "spy++" (maybe on p2p networks).

crankshaft · 11-02-2005, 10:13 PM

Thanx;

I determined the handle number but that did not work either, but If I just use the window name, without the window class it embeds OK !

Is it ok to use it like that ???

0l33l · 11-02-2005, 10:35 PM

Yes, its ok to use it like that
